Without a shadow of a doubt, Nemanja Petric has been the main architect of Perugia’s success over the past two years, and the club is thrilled to have reached an agreement to keep him at the club for the coming season. The 26-year-old Serbian was pretty much unknown when he landed in Italy two years ago but he quickly made a name for himself and became an important piece of his national team. Last season, he finished sixth in the scoring chart (first among players of position 4) with 346 points and always with high percentages.
“I am extremely happy – said Namanja – I have lived two unforgettable years in Perugia, and hopefully the third season here will be at least as good. I really like how the club is building the team. It looks like we’ll have a nice group with a lot of quality. Hopefully, if we work hard in the gym, we will be able to make it hard for all our opponents, even the top teams”.
